Introduction And Importance: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is caused by compression of the median nerve, leading to both sensory and motor dysfunction in the hand. Traditional open carpal tunnel release (CTR) is a proven treatment but often results in longer recovery times, visible scarring, and postoperative issues like pillar pain. Endoscopic techniques, while reducing recovery time and limiting incision size, present risks such as incomplete ligament release and possible nerve injury.

Synovial sarcoma, accounting for 7-8 % of malignant sarcomas, typically manifests in adulthood, but it is noteworthy that adolescents and children make up 30 % of reported cases. Contrary to its name, this malignancy often originates from multipotent stem cells rather than the synovium.

While the intramuscular form is predominant, the juxta-articular variant is rare, especially in the foot. Juxta-articular myxomas had a heightened risk of recurrence post-surgical excision, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies.

In this study, we aim to report the experience of Ibn Rochd University Hospital in the treatment of dystonia using DBS of the globus pallidus internus, which represents an exceptional challenge for a developing country such as Morocco.
Methods: Since 2013, we selected five eligible candidates for DBS surgery at the university hospital Ibn Rochd.
Unlabelled: Ollier disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple enchondromas. The clinical manifestations of the disease vary widely, but patients often present with bone deformities and an increased risk of developing chondrosarcoma. Here, the authors present a case report of a 25-year-old male patient with a devastating and historic evolution of Ollier disease.

Reporting such cases is crucial to highlight the importance of understanding the physiopathology and treatment options associated with ABCs. Literature-based writing emphasizes the significance of reporting cases like the one presented here.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a young 34-year-old patient who consulted for a swelling in his right thigh.
Introduction: Synovial sarcoma is a rare and aggressive soft tissue tumor that affects the para-articular regions of the large joints. It originates from mesenchymal cells with synovial differentiation. Its management remains surgical with wide excision.
